Consultation Packages
Basic Consultation
The basic consultation includes a comprehensive assessment of your medical history, as your current state of health has important implications for the decisions you make for your end-of-life care. I then discuss potential end-of-life scenarios, educating you on the reality of being critically ill, and what that entails regarding prognosis of recovery and likely quality of life in the event of survival. After talking about your wishes, values, and priorities as you get older, and what you envision as a "good death", you will make decisions about what types of medical care you do and do not want at the end of life.
​
This consultation will ideally include your spouse, children, other family, or friends that will be making medical decisions for you in the event that you are not able to.
I will write up a summary of your decisions after the consultation, which will be a guide to your medical decision makers in the future.
​
The consultation will last approximately 2 hours.
​
The cost is $1000 for a 2 hour consultation. Additional hours will be prorated at $500 per hour. I am willing to work on a sliding scale to accommodate any economic constraints.
Comprehensive Consultation
The comprehensive consultation starts with the basic consultation on end-of-life decision making. It also includes a more comprehensive assessment of your medical history. At the end of this consultation, in addition to the written summary of your end-of-life care preferences, you will also receive a written summary of medical recommendations to maximize your health, lifespan, and quality of life. These will include lifestyle recommendations, and may also include medical recommendations that can then be discussed with your primary care physician and medical specialists who know you well.
​​
This consultation will last approximately 3 hours.
​
The cost is $1500 for a 3 hour consultation. Additional hours will be prorated at $500 per hour. I am happy to work on a sliding scale to accommodate any economic constraints.
Concierge Medical Service
I offer a concierge medical service to selected people who live in close proximity to where I live. This service is intended for people who are medically vulnerable, for whom it is difficult to leave the home for medical evaluation. I provide prompt house calls and easy access by text or phone for medical evaluation and questions as they arise. I will facilitate communication between your primary care provider and medical specialists, helping to explain the importance of your medical treatments and medical information such as labs and imaging studies.
​
The cost is $5000 per year. This includes the basic consultation as part of the concierge services. This also includes an unlimited number of house calls, and unlimited contact by text or phone.
